Occurrence of torque is one of several possible interactions between a medical device and the MR magnetic fields during an examination in the MR scanner. These interactions and the accompanying dangers are detected by test laboratories for MRI safety, in the course of the MR labelling process.

The official guidelines and MR safety standards represent a reliable safety level for patients, medical personnel and manufacturers alike: safety to protect MR users and patients in the best way possible, as well as safety that is necessary for manufacturers to conform to the latest tests and standards of the market.
